Watch Out, ‘Whole30′ — There’s a New Healthy Cookbook in Town
Those following Yahoo Food’s cookbook sales coverage may be tempted to get their eyesight checked this month, but we assure you — you’re not seeing double. This month’s top cookbooks are nearly identical to May’s, save for two newcomers: Everyday Detox and The Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook.
It’s hardly shocking that both are health-oriented. “I think June is when bathing suit reality sets in and it’s time for even more of us to hit the (cook)books for recipes to help shed those unwanted pounds,” Amazon book editor Seira Wilson told us over email. The Whole30 cookbook is still on top, but Wilson thinks that Everyday Detox, which just came out June 2, “has the potential to give The Whole30/Thug Kitchen/10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse trifecta a run for the money.”
Everyday Detox has some striking similarities to The Whole30 in particular. Both promote a no-dieting approach to food (it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle) and emphasize re-booting one’s relationship with the plate. However, as Everyday Detox’s name suggests, it espouses an everyday eating style, whereas The Whole30′s central focus is a strict 30-day cleanse (though it’s meant to positively influence one’s diet going forward). Time will tell which approach readers prefer.
On a final note, another hat tip goes to Franklin Barbecue, which continues to hang on despite another veggie-centric month on the cookbook scene.
